Title:
The Symplectic Geometry of Polygon Spaces

Speaker:
Rebecca Goldin

Abstract:
In this talk, I’ll introduce the polygon space from a symplectic point of view. In this context, polygon space arises as a “symplectic reduction”, and in particular it carries a symplectic structure. I will explore how some integrals (in particular, the symplectic volume) can be calculated on these polygon spaces, at least on an Abelian version of the polygon space.
